LaSPACE's Goals
The main thrusts of the LaSPACE Program are aerospace research and development, college and pre-college education, and public awareness of aerospace activities and opportunities. The Louisiana Space Consortium's principle goals, therefore, are to: |
- Develop the infrastructure needed to help boost Louisiana's involvement in aerospace R & D, education and economic development.
- Coordinate and develop programs among the consortium institutions, with the private sector, with state and local government, and with NASA centers nationally.
- To increase, in quantity and in quality, Louisiana's production of aerospace and related science and engineering graduates and professionals,
- To enhance in scope, depth, and number, research and development activities in aerospace and related sciences and engineering, and
- To indirectly increase aerospace and related industries in the state - not only for economic development, but also for economic diversification.
- Enhance higher education in the aerospace field through:
- Graduate student fellowships
- Undergraduate student scholarships
- Curriculum development
- Contribute aerospace materials and expertise to on-going teacher awareness/training programs and pre-college student involvement programs
- Promote aerospace research/training opportunities at Louisiana institutions
- Work with LaSER (the state EPSCoR committee) to enhance statewide capabilities in aerospace science and technology
- Provide visibility for aerospace activities statewide
- Enhance recruitment and retention of women, minorities and disabled individuals in the aerospace field
